Stereospecific backbone methylation of pyrrolidine-amide oligonucleotide mimics (POM)

Chem Commun (Camb). 2006 Apr 7:(13):1436-8. doi: 10.1039/b518171b. Epub 2006 Feb 23.

Abstract

The introduction of (7'S)-methyl groups into the backbone of pyrrolidine-amide oligonucleotide mimics (POM) does not interfere with high affinity recognition of complementary nucleic acids, whereas (7'R)-methylation disrupts hybridisation significantly.
